“Hakan was a chieftain ready for battle. Fear, the haze of it like when the Danes had attacked her village, skittered across her skin.
"Break the fast with me," she pleaded softly.
He hooked a finger under her chin. "You've convinced me to do many things I've not done before." He looked at the trees where her loom sat idle. "Like spend a summer day in the shade, and now you want me to keep my ship, my men, waiting. What will you have me do next?"He paused as if drinking in the sight of her. He hadn't shaved, and his jaw bore several days' growth. She itched to know the feel of those blonde whiskers. Her lips parted with bold, unspoken invitation.”

“Hakimu na Kuhani Mkuu wa Shilo Eli alipata matatizo makubwa wakati wa mgogoro wa Waisraeli na Wafilisti, kati ya mwaka 2871 na 2870 Kabla ya Kristo. Mara tu baada ya kupewa taarifa ya kifo cha watoto wake wawili, Hofni na Finehasi, na kutwaliwa kwa Sanduku la Agano la Bwana wa Majeshi lililohifadhi Amri Kumi za Mungu, Eli alianguka kutoka katika kiti chake na kufariki papo hapo akiwa na umri wa miaka 98. Aidha, mkwe wa Eli, mke wa Finehasi, alijifungua ghafla na kufariki alipopata taarifa ya kifo cha mkwewe na taarifa ya kuuwawa kwa mumewe na ya kutekwa nyara kwa Sanduku la Agano.
Mwanajeshi kutoka Benyamini falaula angetumia hekima na busara kutoa taarifa ya kifo na ya kutwaliwa kwa Sanduku la Agano huenda Eli asingefariki, na huenda mkwewe asingejifungua mtoto njiti na huenda asingekufa siku hiyo. Kwani Sanduku la Agano lilirejeshwa nchini Israeli, na Wafilisti wenyewe, baada ya miezi saba tangu litwaliwe, na kifo cha watoto wa Eli yalikuwa mapenzi ya Mungu. Hivyo Eli asingeweza kuzuia kifo cha watoto wake, na Wafilisti wasingeweza kukaa na Sanduku la Agano milele.
Lakini katika kafara ya Isaka ambapo Isaka aliamua kujitoa kafara mwenyewe kumfurahisha Mungu na baba yake kama Yesu alivyoamua kujitoa kafara mwenyewe kumfurahisha Mungu na baba yake wa mbinguni, Sara angekufa kama Ibrahimu hangetumia hekima alipomwambia anakwenda kumtolea Bwana kafara ya mwanakondoo wakati akijua anakwenda kumtoa Isaka mtoto wa pekee wa Sara. Hekima inatoka moyoni, busara inatoka mdomoni. Kwa vile suala la kutoa taarifa mbaya kwa mtu ni gumu kwa yule anayetoa na kwa yule anayepokea, hekima na busara havina budi kutumika.”
“Haklıydı. Benim gereksiz bir nezaketle donanmış içi boş iyimserliğimin aksine, ekmeğini kazanmak için gecenin bir yarısı kara, fırtınaya, aldırmadan direksiyon sallayan bu yaşlı adam, acı hakikati olanca gerçekliği içinde görüyordu. İstanbul hakikaten bitmişti, Damat Sacit, Kara Nizam gibi toplumun dibindeki adamlar değil, hepimizin ortak vurdumduymazlığı, ortak acımasızlığı, ortak cahilliği bitirmişti bu şehri. Ama hâlâ kalıntılarıyla beslenip duruyorduk işte, dişleri için öldürülen bir filin devasa gövdesini didikleyen akbabalar gibi...”

“Hakomi is a path taken by those who work to go beyond the half remembered hurts and failed beliefs that linger unexamined in the mind and body, hurts that act through barely conscious habits and reactions. This work is a part of that heroic labor, a cousin to sitting meditation, to singing bowls and chanting monks.”
“Haksız ve budala bir çoğunluktan daha çirkin bir şey yoktur!”
“Haksızlık, ihanet, utanç... Artemisia bunları hiç yorulmadan renklere döküyordu. Esin kaynaklarını tarihteki büyük kadınların gururlu mücadelesinde derinleştiriyordu. Yalana karşı koyan, İncil'deki kadın kahramanlar. Zorbalığa başkaldıran, efsaneleşmiş çehreler... Judith tuvallerinde, baştan çıkardığı despot kralı öldürerek halkını özgürlüğe kavuşturuyordu. Yael, düşmanının şakağına çekiçle vura vura bir çivi çakarak ailesinin geleceğini güvence altına alır. Lucrece hançerine, Kleopatra da yılanına sarılır: Her iki kadın da daha güçlü olanın yasalarına boyun eğmektense yaşamlarına son verirler. Kılıç, zehir, hançer, Amazon kadınları, günahkarlar, baştan çıkaran kadınlar, Marie-Madelaine, Galatee, Esther ve Bethsabee, hepsi de aşk ölüm ve özgürlük arasında çırpınırlar, Hepsi de zafer kazanır.”
